NFL general managers will inquire about Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby’s availability, but they’re unlikely to make progress in those discussions.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater, the Raiders have no interest in trading their star pass-rusher. Also, Crosby hasn’t expressed a desire to leave Las Vegas.
The #Raiders met with star DE Maxx Crosby today to let him know they aren’t shopping him and won’t trade him, sources tell me and @SlaterNFL.

Trade suitors must pivot to other potential targets on the Raiders roster.
Here are three Raiders, excluding Crosby, who could be on the way out of Las Vegas before the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
Jackson Powers-Johnson and Alex Cappa have battled for the right guard position. In Week 7, Powers-Johnson (along with the entire team) struggled against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the coaching staff benched him.
Head coach Pete Carroll seems hesitant to name Powers-Johnson the starter at the position. That’s surprising considering Cappa has allowed 12 pressures while on the field for 95 pass-blocking snaps, per Pro Football Focus.
This coaching regime moved Powers-Johnson from center to right guard and isn’t convinced he’s a starting-caliber player. With Jordan Meredith entrenched as the starting center, Powers-Johnson could be the odd man out if the team prefers Cappa at right guard.
The Raiders could trade Powers-Johnson halfway through his second season. They drafted guard Caleb Rogers in the third round after signing Cappa to a two-year, $11 million deal this past offseason.
Projected Compensation: Third-round pick
Jakobi Meyers generated buzz when he requested a trade in the summer. He wants a new contract, but his representation hasn’t been able to strike a new deal with the team.
Before the team’s bye week, Meyers told reporters that he would still like to play elsewhere.
According to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz, the Raiders want a Day 2 pick for him.
Sources: Multiple teams have shown interest in trading for #Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers, who’s in the final year of his contract and has publicly said he still wants to be traded.

If a playoff-contending team with a significant need at wide receiver makes a strong offer, Meyers could be suiting up for a different club in the second half of the season.

Tyree Wilson isn’t generating trade buzz, but he could draw interest given his incremental strides this season. He’s recorded 13 tackles, four for loss, two sacks and six pressures while on the field for 47% of...
